Chief executive, Calyx

What was the worst job you have ever had?

Working on a battery hen farm - the conditions for the birds were awful.

Which actor would you pick to play you in a movie of your life? Euan MacGregor - he'd do a better job of the accent than Mel Gibson.

What do you do as your party trick?

Spin (ripping) yarns.

What is your favourite chocolate bar?

Mars - it might not be the original but it is definitely the best.

What has been the highlight of your career to date?

Being part of a successful buy and build strategy while at Azzurri - a great experience.
Has 2014 been a good, bad or ugly year? Good - we've made massive strides forward in the evolution of Calyx.

How would you explain the IT channel to a stranger without boring them to death?

With alcohol.

Aside from the channel, my dream career would be... As a writer, I firmly believe everyone has at least one book in them, one story to tell.

What major issues will the channel face in 2015?

Making the cloud - and its benefits - tangible to end users. There has been too much spin and hype to date.
